What Permit Puller customers say

These are real public reviews of Permit Puller on Yelp.

⚠

"I spent the entire week prior to when I needed the permit trying to get an update from Permit Puller. There had been zero communication since I placed the order. Then came the payment — I was invoiced $109, paid it, then a month later was sent another invoice for $249 saying their payment system screwed up and I now owe $140 more."

Nia H., Boston, MA — 1-star review of Permit Puller on Yelp (January 2025)

"The pricing is NOT transparent. I was never informed how much anything would cost. Then I got a charge for $222 from a company called Porch. The invoice only says 'Customer Payment' — no company name, no details. They do 10 minutes of work and charge over $200."

"I ordered a permit and was charged for it. Unfortunately, Permit Puller never provided the permit. I've been calling for resolution — no return calls are made."

Why Boston moving companies switch

If you're running a moving company in Boston, this is the part that matters.

  • ✓ $24 per permit adds up fast. Run 10 permits a month: $240. Run 20: $480. That's money back in your pocket just by switching who you call.
  • ✓ We cover the whole city. Back Bay, South End, Beacon Hill, Charlestown, Jamaica Plain, South Boston, East Boston, Dorchester, the North End, Allston-Brighton. One service, one application process.
  • ✓ Photo proof at pickup and posting. We send a photo as soon as we pick up the permit and official signs from City Hall, so you know the permit is secured well before moving day. We send another photo after the signs are posted.
  • ✓ Clear pricing before payment. Your exact total is shown before you enter payment details. Standard one-day, non-metered permits start at $156; metered spaces, additional days, or extra curb space cost more. Your card is authorized but not charged until we confirm the permit.

Use us once and permits stop being something you think about. Apply in 60 seconds; we coordinate with City Hall, send pickup proof, post the signs, and send posting proof. That's the job.

Moving once and not sure where to start?

We coordinate with City Hall and send photo confirmation as soon as the permit and official signs are picked up. We send another photo after posting the signs at least 48 hours before the permit begins. Your card isn't charged until the permit is confirmed.

How long does it take to get a Boston moving permit? ▼

Is a permit required for moving in Boston? ▼
A permit is not legally required for every Boston move, but it is required if you want to reserve enforceable curb space for a moving truck or van.

You can apply through the city directly or use our permit pulling service, which coordinates the permit and posts the signs for you. Learn more about Boston moving permits →
What's the difference between a permit puller and getting a permit yourself? ▼
Getting a permit directly from the City of Boston means applying online or at City Hall, paying the city charges, obtaining the official signs, and posting them at least 48 hours before the permit begins. A permit pulling service handles the City Hall coordination and sign posting. Easy Moving Permits charges $85 for that service on top of city charges. Sign removal is separate where that option is available.
Can I use this for multiple permits each month? ▼
Yes, and this is where the savings add up. No account fee, no contract, no minimum. Apply for one permit or twenty. It's the same 60-second application each time, and you save $24 on every single one. Moving companies use us for every job.
